This is how we roll…
When you grow up in one of the neighborhoods in Boston…..or if your raised by someone who did…you learn to carry yourself a certain way. Your accent and cynical nature is truely unique…ohhh and you learn to talk very fast. Boston has the record for the fastest speakers in the country. Check out this Paddy Quinn production….the Polo hat part is priceless.

Goodbye Goody…
There’s 3 things that all Massachusetts boxing fans will always let you know. Rocky Marciano was undefeated, Mickey Ward is made of steel, and Hagler beat Leonard. Brockton has been home to some of the best fighters this world has ever seen, and this weekend …
When Kevin White saved Boston…
Many of us don’t remember, but this is a snapshot of a place in time where Kevin White and James Brown helped to calm the black population of Boston after losing MLK to an assassin’s bullet. This concert was almost cancelled out of fear of rioting….but Kevin …

Tim Thomas and the founding fathers…
Like any Bruins fan I have grown to love Tim Thomas, we owe him our gratitude for years to come. I have no problem with his decision not to show up at the White House.

Our founding fathers probably didn’t envision the industrial revolution, a civil war, an end to slavery, female voters, a catholic president, a black president, illegal immigration, corporate greed, the great depression, the great recession, 2 world wars, the cold war, health care costs, our oil dependency, the environment, the Bush family, sending our jobs to China, nuclear weapons, civil rights, lobbyists, the illegal drug trade or September 11th.
Our federal government is far from perfect but it has managed to adapt to an ever-changing world. Of course it’s not what the founding father’s envisioned…..but thank god they gave it the ability to change.
I love Tim but maybe he shouldn’t watch so much Glenn Beck…..dude is a screwball. The Gadsden flag on the back of his mask is pretty bad ass though…
It’s time to get revenge…
Never Forgive – Never Forget – US Navy Seals I won’t get mad, I’ll just get even – Bill Belichick This may sound crazy, but I would actually pay money to hear what Bill has to say before the game against the Giants. Revenge will certainly …
